Five Great Hunger Games/Catching Fire Parody Videos

Itching for Catching Fire to just be in theaters already? How about some parody videos of Suzanne Collins’s Hunger Games and Catching Fire to ward off the anticipation just a bit longer? Here’s a glimpse at five of my favorites.

Let’s start with something simple and straightforward: The Hunger Games as reenacted by cats and cardboard.

May the Odds Be Ever in Your Favor in this parody of The Hunger Games as played out by Beanie Babies.

Do you know the “Bad Lip Reading” series? If not, get acquainted with their bad reading of The Hunger Games. This one is a little crude but then again, the source material is too.

This one gets me every single time: it’s a parody of Lana Del Rey’s song and video “Video Games” but it’s about The Hunger Games. “I don’t want Peeta to be dead / A pita is a pouch of bread / but that’s his name.”
